Why oh why were you motivated to post this, I'm all for a good rant, but this is a textbook you had to know most of the responses will criticize you, also I am curious did posting make you feel better? If so than ok.

Didn't read past "emotionally tied too"..

I didn't read this whole thing but from I did read, it sounds like you want to win without giving your all every game. If you want to win pvp, be prepared for some battles. If not, try switching to pve every now and again. PvP players tend to take the game way too seriously. [spoiler]why so serious?[/spoiler]

Failed first grade language arts I see

Not sure how you could say Hunters weren't OP Just look at nightstalker even post nerf. Only ability in the game that can dodge every single tracking grenade. (Garrison evade which also nerfed can't dodge tracking nades & requires you to jump first) Smoke melee literally locks a player down until they jump with which if you aren't a titan with a garrison its tough to get out of the way quick enough to avoid death. Wombo combo while not as deadly as before is still probably the best grenade melee combo in the game. With graviton forfeit you can literally dodge tracking nades while also seeing your opponent through walls if you just see the player. Then the super kills on contact and gets a damage reduction while activated so its very difficult to kill a hunter mid super. But if you miss? You still anchor other players and it takes away their super at the same time. Id honestly say the nightstalker is the most powerful class in the game right now overall. In short range maps like trials have been the last 3 weeks, defender titans with universal and no backup plans, and stormcallers with universal melee compete very strongly. But as you noticed I didn't mention weapons with the nightstalker. The nightstalker you can use any weapon you choose and be effective because of its neutral game. Gunslingers were nerfed because of 6v6 encounters and Bungie seemed to neglect the fact that when a super can kill 3 players every time its activated gunslingers will of course have the highest k/d. I bet the k/d of gunslingers in 6v6 is relatively unchanged because players didnt dominate with tripmines or throwing knives lol. I felt that nerf was pointless. People like to say striker titans are the most OP because of shoulder charge or Juggernaut shield. Both of which require you to play up close and personal. On a map like frontier how effective are lightning grenades?, shoulder charge on that map is pointless because of how everything is so open. Juggernaut you are basically a sitting duck. Its situational. I will say lightning grenades radius could be turned down (I use flashbangs anyway because Im sick of lightnings sticking vertically on a tiny ledge on the wall). Right now for the first time I think in Destinys lifespan you can succeed with every class if you choose the right one for the correct situation. You can't just roll between maps with the same class and expect to dominate every game which is why I think players complain every week about something different being OP (usually tied to gametypes Trials, Inferno, Iron Banner). I think Bungie sees that and its why nerfs dont always agree with our common rants. Inferno this week=Shoulder Charge nerf, Iron Banner=Stormcaller, Close Range trials map=Juggernaut or Universal Nerf Just my two cents

So is this a thing now? Calling other people "sweaty" so it's an excuse? Lame af.

Paragraphs, grammar, beginning, middle, end. Go.

Throw in the towel? That's a Titans job.

Looks like your Paragraphs were Nerfed much worse than your Hunter.

What a ridiculous reason to throw in the towel... Just take a break and come back later! Or come back for Rise of Iron! Destiny offers so much, and in fact, the ever-changing fluidity of the endgame is a GOOD THING. Keeping the class balance in motion and tweaking weapons is what keeps things feeling fresh. It's all about perspective, and you could use some right now. So go play some other games. If you think you miss your precious Hunter now.... just wait. You'll come blink striking back to Destiny faster than you can say "bungo whyyy" *throws money at OP* *throws money at screen* *throws money at Luke Smith*

Paragraphs. For -blam!-'s sake, please...

Damn this wall of text could defend the City.

I play all three characters but have SIGNIFICANTLY more time on my Titan. Been a Titan main since the Beta. Hunters now know what it felt like when Sunbreaker was taken to a dark alley and beaten to near death. It still hasn't really recovered and just merely... exists. That said, a lot of the Hunter nerfs were unnecessary. Gunslinger didn't need any tweaking whatsoever and Bladedancer needed a fix for Arc Blades registration and maybe a buff to Arc bolt grenades, which are pretty terrible at the moment. The only thing that DID need a nerf and still maybe needs to get tweaked a bit is the Wombo Combo, which is still pretty annoying. Smoke is still a bit cheap, considering it slows you, blinds you AND poisons you all in one.

So much Aggro. Hunter's are still pretty good.

Cya bye. Time to join a real game like Pokemon go
